Hey ChrisI agree with medic Kens suggestions and in addition I would suggest looking at woodworking blogs here and on you tube with people like Charles Neil. and Magazines like Finewoodworking ,wood Magazine and there web sites. If you want to try making your wood frame I was suggest practicing on some inexpensive wood first like poplar or pine . If you have more specific questions feel free to send me a PM.
